Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

A car crash will affect an obsese 250lb bus driver much more than some 40lb little twerp.
Let's say the bus was traveling at a rate of 60mph๐บ๐ธ and hit a brick wall, and all passengers uniformly come to a complete stop at precisely 1 second. The 5 year old weighing 40lbs๐บ๐ธ would experience an impact of around 109 pounds of force (109.40 lbf๐บ๐ธ) whereas the bus driver weighing 250lbs๐บ๐ธ would experience 683.67 lbf๐บ๐ธ.
I absolutely did NOT run the calculations in ๐คฎ ๐ช๐บ ๐คฎ before converting to ๐๐บ๐ธ๐.
I mean, on the other hand, a 5 year old is generally more fragile than an adult man.
Dude, fully grown men are objectively fragile.
Children are objectively small and squishy. Car accidents are one of the leading causes of death for children for a reason.
